• 1 1/2 pounds pork spareribs
• 3 tomatoes, diced
• 1 potato, peeled and diced
• 1 large carrot, diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 5 cups water

Chef's Sourcing & Quality Tips:

• Produce & Aromatics: Always use fresh whole aromatics and seasonal herbs rather than dehydrated powders when possible.
• Cooking Oils: Utilize cold-pressed oils with appropriate smoke points such as extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil.
• Salt & Seasoning: Season from a modest height above the pan to ensure an even, uniform crystalline dispersion.

Follow these sequential steps with careful attention to sensory cues and cooking temperatures:

Step 1: Technique & Execution

In a deep skillet over medium heat, cook spareribs in water to cover until meat begins to fall from the bone, 1 hour

Step 2: Technique & Execution

In a large pot over medium heat, combine tomatoes, potato, carrot, onion, salt and 5 cups water

Step 3: Technique & Execution

Place the ribs in the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes, until vegetables are soft.
